True North Awakening

10/31/2025

This week, I spent time with a friend talking about relationships — how far we’ve come and how we’ve learned to repair, nurture, and show up for the people we love. It brought up a tender memory of my mom and reminded me how powerful caregiving truly is. Read the full story in my blog: https://bit.ly/4oMJfam

Caregiving isn’t just doing. It’s being. It’s love expressed in presence, patience, and showing up again and again — even on the hard days.

If you're caring for someone at the end of life and need guidance or resources, I’m here. You can also access free support tools anytime at:

“As the veil between the worlds thins, the unseen becomes a little closer.”
– Unknown

Halloween reminds us that mystery and magic are always near—whispering in the wind, flickering in candlelight, dancing in shadow and flame.

A recent conversation with a trusted group of friends talking about navigating relationships and "Becoming the Observer" in the work that we do.

It is practice that has served me well over the years and will continue to lean into while navigating interpersonal and professional relationships. I hope you will join me in this practice. It all begins and ends with Love and Compassion.

This month marks the launch of the Green Ribbon of Love Movement, an initiative inviting us all to choose love over fear, honor grief both seen and unseen, and stand together in shared humanity.

This is an invitation to each of us to wear a green ribbon as a visible sign of empathy, connection, and hope.

👉Tag Suzanne B O'Brien or Doulagivers Institute with your selfie wearing your green ribbon and they will repost it to build a "Tapestry of Hope" inspired by Jane Goodall.

Together, we can remind the world: "I see you. I feel with you. I choose love." 🌍💚
